    ^^ Agreed BMC CDA all the way

    1.8 20v motor is a pretty boring engine TBH (sounds like a hair dryer) wont get the same driving enjoyment as the corrado. TT is a pretty dull / numb driving experience.

    Got a spare 2.9 Corrado manifold if anyones interested?
  4. Steve @
    Yeah knock sensor if nackered will surely retard the ignition? did it come up with cam pos sensor as well?
  5. Steve @
    Rich are you using the same place?
  6. Steve @
    have you had it on vag-com to check for faults?
  7. Steve @
    Yeah be interested to know what the labour cost was. I ve got all the chain's & clutch etc just need somewhere to fit it all. Readings not far either!
  8. Steve @
    People are running 280-300bhp on standard clutches so you'll be fine.

    Above the Coil pack /dizzy. Towards the back of the head. One 6mm allen from mem, easy as pie.
  10. Steve @
    Bump any news?
  11. Steve @
    Mytyres are fine, also try camskill. They dont have as wide a sellection but they tend to be cheaper.

    Also once the manifold has been wrapped. Its best to spray the wrap. This stop's it socking any oil up which would become a major fire hazard!
  13. Steve @
    Redline and Silkolene are both good oils for the box. Oilman stocks silkolene and demontweaks for the redline. You'll need 2 litres for the Vr box.

    Good luck chap!
  15. Steve @
    Thats a good price usually more around £800+vat. Where abouts is this place?
  16. Steve @
    What a pain. Cant see the compression being the cause of the stalling. good numbers though 230Bhp is nothing to be sniffed at on a NA VR.
  17. Steve @
    Its a heat exchanger. Uses the water to cool the oil. Its not that effective but keep it when using the oil cooler to bring the oil upto temp faster.
  18. Steve @
    Yeah oil catch tank. Or like me lazy (oil catch tank in the garage waiting to be fitted) I just run a length of hose with a breather on the bottom down the rear of the engine. That way you dont get the fumes in the cabin.

    Hi Tom. How long before these will be available? I need a rear pretty soonish.
  20. Steve @
    I am in need of one so as soon as there available I ll take one off your hands!! possibly a softer rear as I am already running a VT comp front mount.
  21. Steve @
    Its about £800+vat for chains, tensioners and clutch fitted.
  22. Steve @
    Yeah its my list to. Standard ratios are far to long IMO, does nothing for times either.
  23. Steve @
    Used to have a clio 16v with williams engine and a few choice mods. Ran 14.1 @ Pod. Was a quick car still miss it really ...
  24. Steve @
    Thats about right for the 0-100 time. Not sure what a standard golf does it in but a standard corrado VR6 does 0-100 in 17.7 as tested by autocar. What did u use to time it?
  25. Steve @
    If your having trouble against the 206 180 then i think you need to get the car looked at, get it hooked up to vag com and /or put on a rolling road. Dont take this as having a go but a healthy highline (OBDII) with your mods should be close to 190bhp. And pretty much the only cars bar the M3 which should give to a hard time are the LCR and CTR.
